Abstract :
A previous publication discussed results from a neuro-electric model for analyzing excitation of myelinated nerve by external electrical stimuli. The studied model is an adaptation of the one developed by McNeal. The present paper examines how membrane and geometric parameter variations affect electrical sensitivity calculated with the model.
